Boeing 757-200 (N968FD) - This sunrise shot had me in a bit of a dilemma as to what camera settings to use: the rising sun on my left was brilliantly lighting up the left side of the Fed Ex B752 "Taytem" as it waited at the hold point for a UPS Airbus N154UP to land on Reno Tahoe Internationals runway 16R ... with its right side in full shadow.  And I actually climbed on the roof of my car and then stood up in hopes of getting high enough to capture the UPS passing completely above the FDX, but I needed to be about three feet higher.  Still, the shot didnt come out too bad considering the widely different degrees of light striking them.
